Polar Studios was a recording studio in Stockholm, Sweden, which operated from 1978 through 2004. The studio was formed by ABBA musicians Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and the band's manager Stig Anderson, owner of the Polar Music recording label. The studio was used to record each of the last three ABBA albums, ''Voulez-Vous'', ''Super Trouper'' and ''The Visitors'', as well as their two final non-LP singles "The Day Before You Came" and "Under Attack".〔BBC article: "(Abba studios forced to close down )."〕 Following the demise of ABBA, all members of the group continued using the studio to record their solo projects.〔 In addition to ABBA, a range of other well-known artists recorded at Polar. Among the most notable albums to have been recorded at the studio are Led Zeppelin's ''In Through the Out Door'' and Genesis' ''Duke''.〔 ==History== The first album recorded at the studio was Genesis' album ''Duke'', followed by ABBA singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad's solo album ''Something's Going On'' (which was produced by Genesis drummer Phil Collins). Led Zeppelin recorded their 1979 album ''In Through the Out Door'' here. Artists such as the Ramones, Rammstein, Roxy Music, Genesis, Adam Ant, Backstreet Boys, Beastie Boys, Belinda Carlisle, Burt Bacharach, Franki, Celine Dion, Roxette, Terra Firma, Entombed, The Hellacopters, Joan Armatrading, and many major Swedish artists have worked at Polar Studios. The centrepiece of the studio was a Harrison mixing console, which was modified by technician Leif Mases to give it a unique sound that in some respects resembled a Neve. ABBA's 1981 album ''The Visitors'' marked a turning point for Polar, as it was recorded on the studio's new 3M digital recorder - thus becoming one of the first digital mainstream pop records.〔ABBA. Das Sonderheft, (Rock Classics ) 10 (2013) p. 70f.〕 The music video for ABBA's 1979 song "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was filmed in the studio; it depicted the group recording the track, although in reality the audio recording was already complete. On the same day, the group also filmed the Spanish language video for "Estoy Soñando" there. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Polar Studios」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
